[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 763862, member: 2299"] There are two aspects of forward progress. Whether it was stopped and where it was reached. Whether forward progress was stopped can't be reviewed. If the ball reached a certain point when the progress was stopped can be. Against Miami, the WR caught the ball at the 4, was hit immediately, his elbow hit at the 5, and he lunged to the 4. My guess is that the line judge saw the elbow hit, as it was right in front of him, then relayed that information to the head judge, so the call was the receiver was down by forward progress and they reviewed where that forward progress was (not if it was stopped or not). They came back and the call stood as called on the field with the ball at the 4 (not overturned from being down at the 3 which is what many people first thought the call was). The issue in that situation is the refs didn't make it clear what the call on the field was and it was reviewed instantly. The announcers assumed it was marked at the 3 and the first down gained. At home, the broadcast went to replay immediately, and then it was reviewed before ever showing the spot. I think people assumed that the call on the field was it was marked at the 3 and a first down given, but I don't think they ever signaled a first down, and it would have been a clear first down if they got to the 3.
